THE PILOT YEAR

The pilot year, step by step.

Year 1 is one city, three programs, and one measured pilot. Every number we publish is tied to something we counted.

HOW WE WILL KNOW IT IS WORKING

We measure the caregiver’s experience.

Short surveys at intake, midpoint, and exit track what a support program can legitimately claim: less isolation, more confidence, better knowledge of resources, and matches that hold.

What we will not promise yet

Claims like these require a clinical evaluation design, participant consent, and data-sharing agreements we haven’t built yet. Until then, we report what we can verify: families reached, matched, supported, referred, and retained.
